Photonic Crystals from Block Copolymer Brushes
Grubbs and co-workers review developments in brush block copolymer (BBCP) self-assembly toward photonic crystal applications. In this rapidly developing field, questions regarding the conformation of BBCPs and the formation of new morphologies provide further research opportunities.
Regenerative Polymeric Coatings Enabled by Pressure Responsive Surface Valves
A regenerative coating system inspired by biology that is a simplified synthetic analog of skin, with a vascularized substrate (dermis-like) and protective coating (epidermis-like) is demonstrated.
Design of Catalysts for Organocatalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization: An Overview
A proposed mechanism for O-ATRP to discern the photophysical and chemical design principles that enable an organic molecule to serve as a catalyst for O-ATRP is described.
Breathing Glass: How To Save The Environment With Polymers
Concept of ‘breathing glass’: The biobased poly(limonene carbonate) (PLimC) unifies sustainability, carbon capture and utilisation of carbon dioxide in one material.
